¹The angel of Yahweh came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you:

¹Ja Issanda ingel tuli Gilgalist üles Bokimisse ning ütles: 'Ma olen teid toonud Egiptusest ja viinud maale, mille ma vandega tõotasin anda teie vanemaile; ja ma ütlesin: Mina ei tee ilmaski tühjaks oma lepingut teiega.

²and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?

²Te ei tohi teha lepingut selle maa elanikega: te peate nende altarid maha kiskuma! Aga te ei ole kuulanud mu häält. Mis te olete teinud!

³Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.”

³Seepärast ma ütlen: Mina ei aja neid ära teie eest, vaid nad saavad teile püüniseks ja nende jumalad saavad teile püüdepaelaks.'

⁴It happened, when the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁴Ja kui Issanda ingel oli rääkinud need sõnad kõigile Iisraeli lastele, siis rahvas tõstis häält ja nuttis.

⁵They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.

⁵Ja nad nimetasid selle paiga Bokimiks ning ohverdasid seal Issandale.

⁶Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

⁶Kui Joosua oli saatnud rahva minema, siis Iisraeli lapsed läksid igaüks oma pärisosale, võtma maad oma valdusesse.

⁷The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.

⁷Ja rahvas teenis Issandat kogu Joosua eluaja ja kogu vanemate eluaja, kes elasid veel pärast Joosuat, kes olid näinud kõiki Issanda suuri tegusid, mis ta Iisraelile oli teinud.

⁸Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.

⁸Siis Joosua, Nuuni poeg, Issanda sulane, suri saja kümne aasta vanuses.

⁹They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.

⁹Ta maeti oma pärisosa maa-alale Timnat-Heresisse Efraimi mäestikus põhja pool Gaasi mäge.

¹⁰Also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, who didn’t know Yahweh, nor yet the work which he had worked for Israel.

¹⁰Ja kui ka kogu see sugupõlv oli koristatud oma vanemate juurde, tõusis pärast neid teine sugupõlv, kes ei tundnud Issandat ega ka mitte neid tegusid, mis ta Iisraelile oli teinud.

¹¹The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals;

¹¹Ja Iisraeli lapsed tegid kurja Issanda silmis ning teenisid baale

¹²and they forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked Yahweh to anger.

¹²ja jätsid maha Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala, kes oli nad ära toonud Egiptusemaalt, ja käisid teiste jumalate järel nende rahvaste jumalate hulgast, kes olid neil ümberkaudu, ja kummardasid neid ning vihastasid Issandat.

¹³They forsook Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.

¹³Aga kui nad Issanda maha jätsid ja teenisid Baali ja Astartet,

¹⁴The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers who despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

¹⁴siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta andis nad riisujate kätte, kes neid riisusid, ja müüs nad nende ümberkaudsete vaenlaste kätte, ja nad ei suutnud enam seista oma vaenlaste ees.

¹⁵Wherever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them: and they were very distressed.

¹⁵Kuhu nad iganes läksid, seal oli Issanda käsi nende vastu õnnetust tuues, nõnda nagu Issand oli öelnud ja nõnda nagu Issand neile oli vandunud; ja neil oli väga kitsas käes.

¹⁶Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them.

¹⁶Siis Issand laskis tõusta kohtumõistjaid, kes päästsid nad nende riisujate käest.

¹⁷Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Yahweh. They didn’t do so.

¹⁷Aga nad ei kuulanud ka oma kohtumõistjaid, vaid käisid hoora viisil teiste jumalate järel ja kummardasid neid. Peagi lahkusid nad teelt, mida nende vanemad olid käinud Issanda käske kuulda võttes - nemad ei teinud nõnda.

¹⁸When Yahweh raised them up judges, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.

¹⁸Kui siis Issand tõstis neile kohtumõistjaid, oli Issand kohtumõistjaga ja päästis nad nende vaenlaste käest kogu kohtumõistja eluajaks, sest Issandal oli kaastunnet nende ägamise pärast rõhujate ja kallaletungijate käes.

¹⁹But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they didn’t cease from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.

¹⁹Aga kui kohtumõistja suri, siis nad pöördusid tagasi ja talitasid veel kõlvatumalt kui nende vanemad, käies teiste jumalate järel neid teenides ja neid kummardades; nad ei jätnud midagi maha oma kurjadest tegudest ega kangekaelsuse viisidest.

²⁰The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;

²⁰Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta ütles: 'Et see rahvas on rikkunud mu lepingut, mille ma tegin nende vanematega, ega kuula mu häält,

²¹I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;

²¹siis ka mina ei aja enam nende eest ära ühtegi neist rahvaist, keda Joosua surres alles jättis,

²²that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Yahweh to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”

²²et nende läbi Iisraeli katsuda: kas nad tahavad hoida Issanda teed, käies sellel, nagu nende vanemad seda hoidsid, või mitte.'

²³So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

²³Ja Issand jättis alles need rahvad, ei ajanud neid kohe ära ega andnud neid ka Joosua kätte.
